Tomorrow the Harvard Book Store celebrates the publication of Minimum Paige, its first anthology of comics from around Massachusetts and the country.

Four of those pages are a horror story that I scripted and Alex Cormack drew and lettered, called “The Essex County Literary Wax Museum & Menagerie.”

Alex is also preparing that short story as a mini-comic to sell at the Massachusetts Independent Comics Exposition this weekend. He’s designing a cover, making copies, stapling—this is called “independent comics publishing.” (I offered to pay half the costs and haven’t done any of the physical work. This is called “the traditional publishing model” from the publisher’s perspective.)
